Physiology and Behaviour

Deerling is the Seasonal Pokémon. This title comes from the fact that Deerling changes color during the year. In springtime it has a pink color, during the summer it is green, in the fall it is orange, and during the winter it has a brown color.

Deerling is based on a young deer, with the species typical body structure and head shape. Its upper body is colored depending on the season, and from the middle of the belly and downwards it has a beige color. Where the colors meet, the colored part overlaps the lower body in a wave-like pattern with a golden rim. This pattern bears resemblance to Shellos's shell, especially seeing as the west sea variation shares its pink color with Deerling's springtime appearance. It has long ears with a yellow inside, and between them a flower in the same yellow color grows.
